Unfortunately yes, as with any tattoo & permanent make-up procedure you are going to feel some discomfort. We advise clients to eat well and be in good general health before each of their sessions.

During your consultation we will discuss how to prepare for your treatment, this includes avoiding stimulants such as coffee and alcohol 24hrs prior and moisturising your scalp twice a day the week before each treatment session.

Scalp micro-pigmentation should never be considered a one treatment process. Most clients can expect between 3-4 sessions to complete their treatment depending on the extent of hair loss or scarring with session lasting anywhere between 2-4hrs. Treatments are usually spaced about 10-14 days apart.

Scalp Micropigmentation is a form of permanent cosmetics or permanent makeup. Often referred to as a cosmetic hair or scalp tattoo, this treatment typically lasts 5-10 years. After that time, a client may experience some slight fading, to which they can come back in for a quick touch up. This cosmetic solution will not wash off but can be tweaked as years go on. We always recommend meeting with our team of experienced expert practitioners to discuss your treatment options.

No. Scalp micropigmentation is a form of permanent cosmetics, but unlike tattoo ink. The pigment contains no additional colorants or additives and will only lighten, not discolour over an extended time.

Scalp micropigmentation also utilises different equipment than traditional tattooing, ensuring the needle and machine are designed specifically for micropigmentation of the scalp.

We use only the best; our ink is organic, vegan and not tested on animals.

If you are unsure of what style or type of hairline will work for you, your treatment specialist will be there to help. With artistic experience on how to fit a hairline to head shape and age, your specialist can help recommend what’s best. We can show you some photos of different hairlines to help you decide.

When choosing your hairline we always recommend to go

We can go through some pictures of hairlines and draw some hairlines on you. When choosing hairlines it is always best to play it safe, not going too low on the first visit. Then on the second visit you would have decided how low you want to go. We can also produce various hairline styles depending on what you like (ie jagged, soft, slightly receding, edged up, lines and designs) Creative Scalps have developed techniques and procedures to ensure your hairline will be in the correct place and suit you and your style

Our pricing is based on the level of hair loss, which is different for each client. Typically, the price ranges between R18000 – R28000. We recommend setting up a free consultation so our team can evaluate your case and provide a personalised price quote based on your hair loss needs.

Depending upon the pattern and extent of the thinning hair, some clients are able to maintain a longer length of hair. Scalp pigmentation can help thicken areas so that less of the scalp is seen showing through. However, if there is a strong pattern of hair loss or just not a lot of hair density left, the client is recommended to crop it shorter.

The equipment used for scalp treatment is considered micro pigmentation or “permanent cosmetic” equipment. There are many different brands designs and equipment including a digital power source, a hand-piece, and a disposable micro needles for the insertion of pigment. Most technicians of Scalp Micropigmentation use different equipment than standard tattoo artists to ensure the deposits are delicately placed at the appropriate depth in the skin.
